Lamu County Wraps Up Staff Performance Appraisal Sensitization Forums

Lamu County Government has concluded a three-day sensitization series on the Staff Performance Appraisal System (SPAS), aimed at enhancing employee productivity and aligning individual performance with county development goals.

The forums, held across various sub-counties, were supported by the Kenya Devolution Support Programme Phase II (KDSP2).

The sensitization meetings brought together county employees and senior officials to deepen understanding of the appraisal system, which is used to evaluate the performance of public officers in line with the county’s service delivery targets.

Speaking during the forum, Chief Officer for Public Health and KDSP2 Coordinator, Mohamed Dirie, emphasized the importance of performance appraisal in promoting accountability, transparency, and employee well being.

“This system not only strengthens service delivery but also supports employee development by creating clear expectations and feedback mechanisms,” said Dirie.

The Staff Performance Appraisal System is a key performance management tool that helps cascade the objectives of the Performance Contract (PC) and actualize the County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP).

County officials reaffirmed their commitment to institutionalizing performance based management as a way of improving governance and delivering on the county’s mandate to its citizens.

The sensitization forums are part of ongoing efforts by Lamu County to build a results oriented public service culture, supported through national and donor-funded initiatives such as KDSP2.

Also in attendance were Chief Officer for Trade, Tourism, and Culture Joyce Murimi, Deputy Director for Human Resource Management, Mr. Felix Katama, and other departmental heads.
